REMINDER ABOUT RESUBMITTING WORK
The automated process we have that determines how long things have been waiting to be graded has kicked out several of your names in the last few days. In checking, it appears that you are looking at some of these assignments and asking students for resubmissions, and them leaving them in the box. The computer then keeps sending updates that you haven't graded an assignment and it makes it look like you are slacking.
If you would, when you ask for a resubmission, go ahead and put the 0. That serves two purposes – it satisfies the "system" that you are grading in a timely manner AND it convinces the student to go ahead and do that in a timely manner and not just wait around on it.
I usually put a note like this in the feedback box and CHECK √ the box that says SEND TO EXTERNAL ADDRESS so they see it quickly:
I see you had some trouble with this – don't forget that when you take the square root of both sides, you have to put ± (PLUS OR MINUS) to get two solutions, then check them. DO NOT PANIC – this can be fixed, but I have to put a 0 as a place holder in any submitted assignment. YOU CAN MAKE THIS UP with no penalty – I can give you a week to go back and relearn and resubmit this, ok? Let me know if you have any questions! JD
I just wanted to remind you, because I know you are doing your job, and sometimes we have to look really hard to figure that outJ
